Each English Tuition course at Alpha lasts one term and it is best that students enroll at the beginning of the term but this is not essential.

The school is closed for a two week holiday break at the end of Terms 1, 2 and 3, and 3 weeks at the end of Term 4. During the Term breaks after Terms 1, 2, and 3 an optional Holiday progrrame is available. A four-week "Quick-Start" English programme is run in the four weeks prior to the start of Term 1 of each year. The "Quick-Start" English programme for 2009 is from 05 - 30 January.

For more details on the Holiiday programmes or "Quick-Start" English programmes please check out the NewsFlash Section or look under Holiday Programmes in the Main Menu.

Adult Courses start on the first Monday of each month and run for up to 12 weeks. Up to two weeks out of each 12-week period may involve a practical component. (Four courses make a full year).

PLEASE NOTE: All courses offered are run as student numbers permit.
